Everyone who drinks of the water of materialism will thirst again.
Introspection of who is the husband of the one partaking (of the woman at the well) touches on the history of immorality, giving an opportunity of repentance.

Questions such as required a yes or no answer of the physical
]John 8:3-5
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
John 9:2-3
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.[/quote]
but the Lord Jesus turned her to the spiritual aspect
John 4:21-24
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.​

God here is Trinity. Spirit is the nature. To worship God Who is Spirit we must worship with our human spirit, which has been awakened to the same nature as He. Jesus was urging the Samaratan woman to contact God the Spirit with her spirit to drink the living water (which is Christ Himself) so as in drinking she could render real worship to God.

God choose His habitation as the place of worship (Deut 12) and the offerings (Lev 1-6) which in typology is the human spirit.

Ephesians 2:22
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.​

Christ is truth and the fountain of the life water, the life giving Spirit

John 4:26
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.​

This word Jesus gave her to believe that she would have eternal life. Believing she told others.

The Samaritans had little learning but the harvest was ripe for those who had done no sowing.

I think that's God's food in satisfying the sinner with the living water. God sows love in the heart that is a testament to others.

Have you lifted up your eyes to look upon the fields lately?
